KT Drifter 4 - 5"2 - 56 liter 2024/25 review and comparison to the Wing Drifter board
Спорт
KT stands for the initials from shaper Keith Teboul who has a big career of shaping boards on Maui. In the windsurfworld he is known from the brand Quattroboards. Now With KT he's making his mark in the foilboard industry with great designs.
In this review I will talk about the KT Drifter 4, 56 liters. And also compare it to the previous model, the KT Wing Drifter. Of which the 56l board has been my go-to and favorite board for almost 2 years. Because this board was longer than most in this size, it was much easier to get on foil. Now with the new shape I was very curious how it would compare.
My dimensions are 1.94cm tall and I weigh about 83kg.

Mooie vergelijking Kris :) Ik hou het nog ff bij het de nu overjarige 5.4, maar wie weet in de toekomst. :)

Dankje Jeroen. Hopelijk gaat het niet teveel kriebelen ;) De 'oude' 5.4 is natuurlijk gewoon een heerlijk board!
Good review, thanks. Have you considered the new KT Ginxu?

Not really. Alltough the new Ginxu 2 model is longer, for the conditions we get I think it will be more difficult to get up on a similar size. The Ginxu Super K is a different story. The 92 gets going faster then fast. Now gone compare the Drifter 80 and super k 80.
You could have compared how the two bords handle foil drive, not just the new board. Thanks

Big difference. As mentioned there is a gap between the FD and the 56l Wing Drifter. So much more rocker and it costs a lot of effort to get on to a smaller foil. Think I had about 10 sessions untill I got a dedicated FD board (Axis) which almost has no rocker. Where with the Wing drifter I almost ran out of 17sec boost time on a Axis foils Spitfire 900, I almost dont need boost on the dedicated board. And for the new Drifter 4.. I only tried one time so far. But I think it sits in between, so much easier.
Raad je dit board aan voor intermediate winger met Spitfire 960/780 en 72kg ? ik vaar nu met North Sleek 75ltr.

Ja, het model zo ie zo. De maat hangt natuurlijk ook af van je gewicht.
